Just curious about where some of y'all got your names from. From the hermie website there were some pretty cool responses.
Mine is my baby IG: his official registered name is Bks Blue Buddha. B & k because of mine & husband's initials, Blue because his head is blue, & Buddha because it's an oxymoron-he's a skinny little Italian Greyhound!
If this has been done before, .

Good question to ask mine is actually a nickname that has derived from my original nickname. The original nickname (which most people still call me by) is clunk, everybody calls me by this name and if you told them my real name, they would say "who ?" This is a name i have had since childhood, and stems from the old cartoon "catch the pidgeon", if you can remember it. Somewheres along the line somebody called me "the clunkster" and so thats how i came up with clunkster

My username is just my first and middle name. My mom helped me think of my first e-mail address years ago, and said bettinacharlotta would be simple and easy to remember. After that, I used it for pretty much every site I've registered on. It may not be the most creative name, but it works.

Cool question.

Mine here is a combination of the first fish I successfully spawned (peppered corys) and my name.

My name on my board is MelonHead. I have a 150g Discus tank and my most beautiful Discus is a Melon.

In primary/junior school, i used to leave little doodled paw prints all over the place. like in my avatar. one of my school friends saw me drawing a paw print on my desk one day and exclaimed "Ahha! So you're 'the mucky paw'!?"

I was a mobile DJ awhile back and one of my friends called me Funky J. J is the first letter of my name and what some people call me. 1313, I was born on the 13th and 13 is my favorite number.

On 2 of the other forums I frequent my name is 1killer1liter . I have a kawasaki zx10r which is 1000cc or 1 liter and it is FAST!

My name is obvious..... i am a "parrot lover", and the number is my birthyear................ i am old.

Well, I am almost an old fart... i will be 30 soon. I bet you are a ton more knowledgable about fish than me, which is the most important thing.

you quite spritely for 77 years old parrot and make me feel positively young by comparison.

errr or did i missread this.

Well i will take a diplomatic stance on you calling yourself

So we've sorted out the 'old', which one of you is the 'fart' ?


My 'handle' is one of numerous nick-names I had as a kid, but as it's a derivative of my surname, it has weathered the years a bit better. Likewise, the 3 represented one of several internet related ID's, and it was the variation that out-survived the others.
